I am having a hard time finding a diagram for me front end to make sure I get the right bushings for my front end. Local parts dealers are NO help. I have an 88 Bronco 5 liter 302

Removal & Installation; "...Rubberized Ball Socket Linkage: 1.Raise and support the front end on jackstands. 2.Place the wheels in the straight-ahead position. 3.Remove the nuts connecting the drag link ball studs to the connecting rod and Pitman arm. 4.Disconnect the drag link using a tie rod end remover. 5.Loosen the bolts on the adjuster clamp. Count the number of turns it take to remove the drag link from the adjuster. To install: 6.Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. Install the drag link with the same number of turns it took to remove it. Make certain that the wheels remain in the straight-ahead position during installation. Seat the studs in the tapered hole before tightening the nuts. This will avoid wrap-up of the rubber grommets during tightening of the nuts. Tighten the adjuster clamp nuts to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm). Tighten the ball stud nuts to 75 ft. lbs. (102 Nm). 7.Have the front end alignment checked..."
